  The Shocking Truth about Gender...

  Gender equality is one of the most discussed and debated topics in modern society. It influences nearly every aspect of life, from economic opportunities and political representation to cultural expectations and personal freedoms. Despite the progress made over the decades, disparities between genders persist, often in ways that are not immediately visible. While some argue that true equality has already been achieved, the reality is far more complex. Deep-rooted biases, systemic barriers, and societal norms continue to shape the way individuals experience the world based on their gender.  
    
  Historically, gender roles were rigidly defined, with men and women assigned specific duties and responsibilities. In many ancient civilizations, men held positions of power and authority, while women were expected to focus on domestic duties and child-rearing. Over time, these roles began to shift, particularly with movements advocating for women’s rights, suffrage, and equal opportunities. The 20th century saw monumental changes, including women gaining the right to vote, increased access to education, and entry into the workforce. Yet, even in the 21st century, inequalities remain, with gender wage gaps, political underrepresentation, and cultural biases still shaping societal structures.  
    
  The concept of gender equality extends beyond just men and women. It also encompasses issues related to gender identity and expression, ensuring that people of all gender identities have equal rights and opportunities. In recent years, discussions about gender have become more nuanced, recognizing the experiences of non-binary and transgender individuals who face unique challenges in accessing equal treatment. True gender equality means breaking down barriers for all individuals, regardless of how they identify, and fostering an inclusive society that values everyone’s contributions.

  Following the end of the Cold War, the world experienced a remarkable wave of democratization. Over the next two decades, numerous authoritarian regimes transitioned to democracies, and it seemed that authoritarianism as a political model was fading. But as recent events have shown, things have clearly changed. 
   
   
   
  In Dictating the Agenda, authors Alexander Cooley and Alexander Dukalskis reveal how today's authoritarian states are actively countering liberal ideas and advocacy surrounding human rights and democracy across various global governance domains. The transformed global context has unlocked for authoritarian states the possibility to contend with Western liberal soft power in new, traditionally "non-political" ways. Cooley and Dukalskis ultimately advance a theory of authoritarian snapback, the process in which non-democratic states limit the transnational resonance of liberal ideas at home and advance anti-liberal norms and ideas into the global public sphere. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from a range of evidence, this book doesn't just reveal the limits of the liberal influence taken for granted across the world. It offers a novel theory of how authoritarian governments figured out how to exploit and repurpose the same actors, tools, and norms that once exclusively promoted and sustained US-backed liberalism.
